David McIntyre registered his first NHL goal, but it wasn't enough as the Minnesota lost in the shootout Saturday night 3-2 to the St. Louis Blues.

The 24-year-old center has two points in five career games and 15 in 26 games in the AHL this season, so suffice to say there's not too much offensive upside here at this juncture. Jared Spurgeon recorded his third goal of the season (16th point) as his power-play marker tied the game with 3 minutes, 28 seconds remaining. Matt Cullen, Kyle Brodziak and Darroll Powe had the helpers in the loss. Sun, Jan 15, 2012 12:19:00 AM

David McIntyre has been called up by the Minnesota Wild.

Mcintyre has 15 points and 33 penalty minutes in 26 AHL contests this season. He also has no points in two NHL games. Mon, Jan 9, 2012 12:35:00 PM

The Wild never trailed in this game, as they jumped out to 2-0 and 3-1 leads in the game. Staal's had an up and down season, but for the most part, he's been a solid signing. He's picked up at least one point in five of his last seven games, and he's now up to six goals and 18 points in 25 games this season. Jason Zucker and Chris Stewart also found the back of the net for Minnesota tonight.

Erik Haula had a goal and a helper in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Vancouver.

His fourth goal of 2016-17 tied the game at 4-4 during a five-goal third period. Prior to that Haula assisted on Jason Pominville's fifth goal of the year. He has collected three goals and one assist in the last five contests to give him seven points this season.

Tyler Groavac scored the second goal in a 3-2 loss of the Minnesota Wild to the Colorado Avalanche Saturday night.

This was not only the second goal of the night, but the second of the season and the second career goal for Groavac. Unfortunately it is a little too soon to form a fantasy bandwagon for third-year center because his other goal was earned well back in October in a 4-0 win over the Stars. In eight games this year, he has earned only two points.

However, he has gotten close. "That's what you look for, trying to get good looks, a lot of good chances," Parise said. "Unfortunately, they didn't go in, but there were some good scoring chances." Coach Bruce Boudreau has been pushing his top players to get going offensively. Parise has scored four goals and nine points in 17 matches this year.

Jason Pominville scored the first two goals of the night, but it was not enough as the Minnesota Wild dropped a 5-4 contest to the Vancouver Canucks Tuesday.

While Pominville did his part, Darcy Kuemper gave up four unanswered goals in the second and third periods. Pominville climbed to 10 points for the year on 46 shots and should be considered only when he fits the appropriate niche on one’s roster.

"I've been thinking about that one my whole life," said Stewart, who has played just three games in his hometown. "There was a lot of family in the building, and I grew up a Maple Leafs fan. It's definitely nice to get that one off the bucket list." He has scored two of his four goals this season in the last three games and he has seven points on the year.

The Minnesota Wild power play was on fire during Friday's win over the Penguins.

They won the game 6-2 with three of those goals coming on the man-advantage. Nino Niederreiter scored two of those goals, while Zach Parise scored the other. The difference? "Shooting the puck," head coach Bruce Boudreau said of his power play. "I keep telling [assistant coach John Anderson], 'Just keep pounding it in them, pounding it in them to shoot it.' And he does … every day."

Zack Mitchell and Gustav Olofsson will be scratched on Sunday against the Oilers.

Mitchell has 10 games to his credit this season, but none thus far in December. The rookie is also still searching for his first points in the NHL. Olofsson is also still finding his way with no points in four career games.

Kurtis Gabriel called Wednesday's game versus Toronto the "best night of my life."

With his mom, brother and stepdad in attendance, he registered his first NHL point against his hometown Maple Leafs. Gabriel earned an assist and a fighting major in the contest after he dropped the gloves with Roman Polak. He didn't have a point in three appearances with Minnesota last year and he has skated in three outings with the big club this season.

Ryan Suter picked up an assist in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Calgary Flames on Friday.

It was a typical Suter night in Calgary, doing a bit of everything and always looking one step ahead of his opponents. He logged just over 28 minutes in the contest, recorded an assist, finished a plus-2, and had one shot on goal. With 16 points in 23 games this season, he is quietly on pace for a career year in Minnesota. It will be interesting to see how the rest of his year plays out offensively considering he has eclipsed 50 points only once in his entire career (2015-16).

He will be back in Minnesota's lineup on Wednesday night. "He's a good player. He can skate, he's big, he moves pucks, so that's what he brings," said coach Bruce Boudreau. Scandella may not see power-play action in his first game since Oct. 27, but he won't see his minutes reduced aside from that.

Jonas Brodin is "brimming with confidence," per head coach Bruce Boudreau.

The 23-year-old has had an up and down career so far, but he seems to have found his game over the last little while. He regularly plays over 20 minutes per night and he's collected at least one point in four of his last five contests. Brodin has three goals and seven assists in 20 games.

Christian Folin suffered a left MCL injury in Friday's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The injury is expected to cost him anywhere between three to four weeks. Folin tried to avoid a hit from Pens captain Sidney Crosby and he hurt himself in the process. It's a big blow for the Wild, as Folin had been one of their better defensemen this season.

The Wild spotted Dubnyk a 2-0 lead and they never looked back. He hasn't suffered a regulation loss since Nov. 19 and he has a 4-0-2 record in his last six outings. Dubnyk has an 11-6-3 record with a 1.65 goals-against-average and a .946 save percentage this season. Through two months, he's definitely in the Vezina Trophy conversation.

Darcy Kuemper gave up five goals on only 35 shots Tuesday night as the Minnesota Wild lost a 5-4 contest to the Vancouver Canucks.

Kuemper has only four previous games this season, but it is nevertheless notable that this was his second-worst outing. He dropped a 6-3 contest to the Islanders October 23rd with a save percentage of .844, so it is best to wait for lead goalie when considering the Wild.
